Buying or selling a business?

Full disclosure before I begin; I am neither interested in buying or selling a business. I simply agreed to read it and offer feedback for an acquaintance. That being said, if I were in either position (buyer/seller) I would have been negligent if I had not read this book. It is a quick read and succinctly outlines common, but often overlooked pitfalls and opportunities. Each point is illustrated with real-life examples that makes it clear. If you are considering the sale or acquisition of a business make this book your first investment in the process.
